Month: March 2017

In this episode, we kept things casual with a low-key snack platter full of delicious eats pulled from Erinn’s pantry and fridge! Tortilla chips with tomatillo salsa, green grapes, pistachios, honey roasted peanuts, sharp cheddar cheese, and cinnamon graham crackers. All things you can find at your local grocery store. We also chatted about our lives at the moment (personal and professional), 90’s nostalgia, and had something important to announce!

If you don’t already know, we’ll be taking a recording hiatus for the next few months. We won’t be recording any new podcasts during this time, but that doesn’t mean we’re gone for good! You can always find our entire library of episodes at the Past Episodes tab at the top of our website, and also on our show page on iTunes. If you’re feeling nice, we’d love a review! You can also contact us anytime by sending us an email: heytablechat@gmail.com or find us on Instagram or Facebook.

Thank you so much for all of your support since we started the show last April! We have loved getting to know all our wonderful listeners and hearing your feedback, suggestions, and encouraging comments. We’ve also loved hosting two giveaways for our community like our Birthaween giveaway and our most recent collab with the awesome organization, Drop the LabelMovement. Now, go live, go do your thang, and catch us next time on Table Chat, the show that’s taking a break…but not for too long!

Today’s episode is all about self care! We chat the important things: what self care mean to us, the science behind relaxation, if we have always made time for self care, and our top three favorite ways to recharge and make ourselves a priority. We ate blistered shishito peppers, coated in a soy sauce and ginger reduction. Rachel made it, we both devoured it. Get the recipe at the end of this post!

Place a large skillet under the broiler or on the stovetop over high heat to warm.

Place the peppers in a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with cooking oil (I like olive oil for its flavor but you can use what you prefer!) and a healthy sprinkle of salt. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the peppers until evenly coated.

When the skillet is hot enough to evaporate a flick of water instantly, pour the peppers into the skillet. The peppers should start to sizzle immediately.

Cook the peppers until blistered- you can do this over medium-high heat on the stovetop, but make sure and turn on the overhead vent or a fan...this will get smoke-y! If you don't like the smoke, transfer the skillet with peppers beneath the broiler. Cook the peppers without moving them for a few minutes so they char on the bottom, then stir with a spatula. Continue cooking and stirring every minute or two until the peppers are blistered and darkened all over, 5 to 6 minutes total.

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, ginger paste, garlic powder, onion powder, and honey. Mix until combined. Transfer into another pan on low to medium heat. You want the ingredients to thicken up, but be careful not to burn it! Once you get the sauce to reduce and thicken, remove from heat.
